Superior quality features of St. Pats Letina tanks
In addition, St. Patrick's Letina provides tanks with additional quality features
|
Superior Cooling jacket design Cooling jackets are oriented vertically on the back of the tank. This allows efficient cooling with any amount of product. St. Pats alone supplies open top tanks with 2 jackets on the back. One on top half, and one below. If tank is full, use the jackets in series. If the tank is not full, then use the lower jacket only. This prevents condensation on the inside of the tank, above the lid, which then runs down into the lid. This can result in mold growth.
|
Vent-211 is standard. The vent attaches to a 2" diameter pipe (~4" long). This pipe reduces the problem of wine coming through the vent. Vent-211 is better quality vent than the white plastic vents that are common to most tanks. | Swaged Port and Reinforcing Ring. Swaging means punching a hole, then pushing out the tank wall. This makes a stronger connection. All ports are swaged. Reinforcing Ring is actually on the inside of the tank but its outline can be seen in the photo. It is 3.5" diameter x 1/4" thick. This greatly strengthens the racking valve connection. The reinforcing ring was introduced to the American market by Letina nearly 20 years ago. |
Sprinkler of pump-over system. Pump-over is standard on all closed top Red fermenters (VIK tanks). Note this sprinkler cannot be plugged. |
Sloped-Bottom TanksVariable Capacity These are flat bottom tanks that are sloped from back to front (5%) to make cleanout easier.

Pneumatic
Float
Information regarding the Inflatable Gaskets
All of the variable capacity tanks include a pneumatic float
which seals the tank at any volume. A pneumatic float is a stainless steel
lid with a surrounding inflatable tube. Place the lid on the wine and pump up
the tube to seal. Pump, pressure gauge, and valve are included. To remove float,
simply open needle valve to deflate the tube. A 2-way vent valve prevents
air from entering but will release pressure. The valve also works in the other
direction, to let air into the tank. This is necessary when pumping out the tank.
Please note: The variable capacity tanks can be used as fermenters. However, it is best not to use the pneumatic float during the primary fermentation--simply cover the tank until the fermentation subsides. You can use the pneumatic float during fermentation but place it at least 8" above the surface. Once the fermentation has stopped, lower the float to the surface of the wine. |
To seal the tank. Simply float the lid on the wine,
then pump up the tube to make the seal.
The most common source of leaks is the soft vinyl tubing to tube stem
connection and the soft tubing to pump hose barb connection. Immerse the tube
in water to be sure there are no leaks.
How
the pump and valve works: The Pump is connected to the Inflatable
Tube by a piece of vinyl tubing. The pump has a clever but simple valve on its
output. Open the valve all the way to let the air out to remove the lid. Close
about 2/3 the way to pump the tube up. [Air can go in but not out.] Then simply
close the valve all the way to seal the tube completely [air can neither go in
nor out of the tube].
Maintenance: It is recommended to cut an inch off each
end of the vinyl tubing every year and replace the vinyl tubing if it looks old.
The tubing is stretched onto the barb connectors and this can leak if the tubing
dries out and gets brittle.
